Xia Ran is busier as a boss than a delivery boy, but what can she do? She wants to find someone to do the job for her, but that’s not possible because of her hard life.

What wakes Xia Ran up every day is not the sense of responsibility, but the money. She also feels tired and wants to quit.

But when she thought of those tempting banknotes, she started to brainwash and heal herself again. Think about it, everyone is tired in this world.

At least my hard work can be immediately reflected in money, which has already won me over 99.99% of people. After I figured it out and recovered, I immediately rushed to the next battlefield with full passion.

Isn't that life?

Not all patients in the hospital buy medication every day. Most of them buy it every two or three days. Some buy it every day, but the proportion is relatively small.

It all depends on your own ability. If you have money, you can eat better; if you don’t have money, you can eat worse. It’s the same everywhere.

After selling today, Xia Ran didn’t dare to stay outside for long and drove directly home. She still had so much meat to soak.

On the way home, I went to the vegetable market and bought some fish and shrimp. I also paid someone to help me pick out and clean the shrimp threads. I even washed the membrane inside the fish's belly and tried to take it home, rinse it with water, and put it directly into the pot.

Otherwise, with such a large amount of food, she would have to clean it up one by one when she got home. It was a headache just thinking about it. Xia Ran liked to cook, but she didn't like to clean up these things.

It's too much trouble, just like she likes eating chicken but doesn't like plucking the chicken feathers.

Today’s sea cucumbers were pretty good, so Xia Ran bought some and quickly went home.

As soon as Xia Ran's car stopped, Wangcai, who heard the noise, came out barking.

She had cleaned and tidied the kitchen in the new house a few days ago, and the pots and pans inside had also been opened and cleaned so they could be used directly.

Xia Ran quickly rinsed the meat with clean water, then put the beef and tendons in two large pots in the space and let them simmer slowly. Then she left the space immediately and cooked them cold outside.

There was only one big pot outside, and the other pot was too small to hold too many things, so Xia Ran didn't touch it.

Xia Ran was running back and forth in the outside space. At first, Wangcai would bark anxiously, but after doing so many times, he just stayed obediently at the kitchen door.

He would look up from time to time and sniff in the direction of the big pot.

Taking advantage of the free time in between, Xia Ran washed the remaining meat several times, and only stopped when there was no blood or turbidity and it was all clear.

Squeeze the water out of the chicken, marinate it with soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. in advance to let it absorb the flavor in advance. It will be more fragrant when you stir-fry it.

The mutton will be stewed when the rabbit is ready in this pot.

The meat on both sides was stewing. Xia Ran took some time to go to the back room and weigh and divide the meat that was to be served to everyone. He also put a bag next to it so that everyone could put the meat in the bag and take it away when the time came.

Piles of New Year gifts filled up two rooms, which was quite intimidating. New Year gifts are New Year gifts, and the proper sense of ceremony should be maintained.

I hope its existence is enough to warm people's hearts.

After finishing this, seeing that it was still early, Xia Ran prepared some peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, and red dates and put them on the table for everyone to have as snacks.

The peanuts were bought by Xia Ran, and the other items were either collected from her hometown or given to her by others.

The only problem was that the melon seeds were raw and tasted a bit unappetizing. Xia Ran lit a fire in the small wok next to her and fried half a basin of melon seeds.

Xia Ran took a few bites and found them quite delicious. They were better than the caramel, cream, green tea and walnut flavored melon seeds she remembered.

Maybe it’s the original flavor, pure and natural.

There are indeed more flavor choices in later generations. They taste good on the first day, but if you eat a few more, you will feel greasy and dry. It may be because of the various technologies and the added effort.

When she saw the red dates and walnuts, she remembered that she wanted to make some red dates and walnuts to eat. As a result, the beef sauce was so popular that she kept putting it off and forgot about it.

She still has lilies in her space, so she can make lily and lotus seed porridge. However, she didn't prepare it in advance, so it's a bit too late to start making it now. It seems that she can't make it today.

Xia Ran thought about it and decided to simply make a tomato and egg soup today, replacing the tomatoes with the sauce she made. It would be so delicious and also quick and easy.

As for the sea cucumber, it needed to be washed and cleaned up. Xia Ran looked at the watch and instantly decided to throw it aside for the time being and save it for stewing next time.

Xia Ran just tasted it and found that the potatoes and chicken were already very soft. When she put the tomato sauce and onions into the pot and prepared to cook them on high heat, she heard a knock on the door.

Who is it, coming here now? It's early enough.

Upon seeing this, Wangcai ran out and barked towards the door.

Xia Ran quickly took out the various stewed meats in the space, filling up the kitchen chopping board.

The mutton was still stewing in a big pot in the space. Xia Ran had tasted it before and it was cooked, but it had not been taken out.

Seeing this, Xia Ran scooped out the meat and soup as quickly as possible and put them into a large bucket.

He checked again and saw that there were no other problems before he prepared to open the door.

At this moment, Wangcai was facing the door, baring his teeth and barking non-stop. He looked quite fierce, as if he was ready to fight with someone.

"Wangcai, don't shout, I know him, he's one of us."

Wangcai seemed to understand what Xia Ran meant, so he stopped howling and put away his ferocious look as if he was about to attack someone. He didn't retreat a single step, but pricked up his ears and stared vigilantly outside the door.

Xia Ran opened the door and saw Meijuan. "Sorry to have kept you waiting. Come in. I was just cooking and put onions and other things in the pot."

Meijuan handed over the gift with a smile, "I guessed it, Sister Xia, what delicious food did you make today? You smell like meat all over, so delicious!"

As he said this, he sniffed the air hard, "It smells really good!"

Xia Ran patted Meijuan and said, "Why are you taking things? We are family, no need to be polite. I stewed all kinds of meats. Let's eat as much as we can today. I made a lot of dishes, mostly in Northwest style."

"You've moved into a new home, so we should all get together to warm up the house. It's also a beautiful blessing. How can you come empty-handed? This is a courtesy and can't be missed."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two of them walked and talked.

"Speaking of which, Sister Xia, your dog is too fierce. It barked so fiercely just now that it scared me. But fortunately, it seems to listen to you and is behaving well now."

"It's very smart. Its name is Wangcai. It's not familiar with you yet. Once you get familiar with it, it will be very well behaved. When it was in my hometown, it often wandered around the village and would play behind other children. It doesn't bite people. Aren't you afraid of dogs?"
